ABSTRACT:
An independent suspension system for a vehicle driving axle is disclosed which includes a leading lower control arm which pivots about an axis which is nearly perpendicular to the upper control arm pivot axis and which is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle center line. By providing this perpendicular relationship between the pivot axes of the upper and lower control arms, an imaginary steering point results. This new imaginary steering point allows for improved vertical wheel travel, while minimizing the distance of half shaft plunge. By improving the vertical wheel travel and minimizing the distance of half shaft plunge, the ride of the vehicle is improved.
